From fab to drab: Premier League away kits ranked

With less than a week to go until reigning Premier League champ Leicester City pays Hull City a visit to kick off the season, bountiful transfers have been paired with a collection of wholesale kit changes.

1. Sunderland

There’s a lot going on here, and all of it is good, as Sunderland opts for a stylish ensemble that will look great as David Moyes and Co. take part in the Black Cats’ annual relegation fight. Looking fab, Fabio.

2. Stoke City

With the days of Tony Pulis instructing the likes of Ryan Shawcross to suplex opponents at the Britannia in the rear-view, Stoke City has paired a more fluid style of play with sharp-looking kits. Powder blue with a clerical collar and trim the same width as the neckline is a charming look for the Potters.

3. Tottenham

Tottenham marks its return to Champions League football after a five-year hiatus sporting what might be one of Europe’s sharpest away strips. For the first time in an eternity, Spurs finished ahead of their north London rival Arsenal. Huzzah.

4. Arsenal

Arsenal has once again opted for a yellow away kit, and with good reason, as this bright strip with gunmetal-grey highlights and a fold-over collar hearkens back to the days of baggy tops and micro shorts. Sharp look that.

6. Burnley

7. Everton

Paying homage to the league-winning kit sported during the 1990-91 campaign when Tony Hibbert was still in the Toffees’ academy, Everton has opted for an uncomplicated yet sharp strip that benefits from its simplicity.

8. Crystal Palace

If Crystal Palace‘s home kits are the anathema of football shirts, the away kit is an utter delight. A strip as colourful and dynamic as its Croydon home, Palace will look sharp when it travels to north London to face Spurs on Aug. 20.

9. Leicester City

Pleasant if not simple, after last season’s heroics, Leicester City can wear clam diggers if it so wishes. Hard not to notice the influence of head scout Steve Walsh’s decision to make the Everton switch after the club signed a colossal fox in the summer window.

10. Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough marks a return to the top flight after a seven-year hiatus in style, opting for two shades of blue and a V-shaped accent on the chest that is bested only by the home kit Aitor Karanka’s lot will wear for the 2016-17 campaign.

11. Manchester United

Having also worn a blue away kit with an automotive sponsor splashed across the chest plate last season with Juventus, Paul Pogba will be familiar with this alluring outfit when he sports it for the first time for Manchester United‘s visit to Bournemouth on Aug. 14.

13. Chelsea

14. West Brom

Cyan pinstripes and smart collar tipping details are the highlights of this recent unveiling by West Brom. The matching trackies and cap that gaffer Tony Pulis will wear on the sidelines are an equally dazzling look perfect for a sartorial struggler approaching his 60s.

15. Bournemouth

The Cherries will again sport a radiant azure shade away from Dean Court, though Bournemouth was anything but blue on the road last season, winning six times – once more than Eddie Howe’s lot managed at home.

17. Liverpool

With a red, black, and silver scheme, Liverpool is opting for a fitting tribute to the 1977 European Cup champ with a colourway that was apparently inspired from the matchday program for the final in Rome. You’ll Always Walk Alone in this travesty.

18. Watford

Watford‘s away strip resembles more a golf shirt in a grab bag left behind at a charity golf tournament than a football shirt. The real charity is the Hornets, who have to sport both this and an abomination of a home kit this season while staving off relegation under headstrong manager Walter Mazzarri.
